21 May is Oppikoppi Day!

In 1994, the very first Oppikoppi took place. You now know it as the institution that has become top of mind when one thinks of South African music festivals. But on 21 May 1994, the orgnanisers had no idea that they would be here 24 years later.

This morning, the official Oppikoppi Twitter account explained just how that day went down. They tweeted: “On 21 May 1994, in a bar, not a barn, our little festival was born. Join us in celebrating #21MayIsOppiKoppiDay and share your stories, pics, faces!”
